Earthquake Cable Protection

19-11-2012

A Japanese market leading company has selected Vos Prodect
articulated pipes in order to investigate whether the usage of systems
can be preventive for the underground distribution and transmission lines
against the damages of destructive earthquakes in Japan. For the onshore
applications, it is common practice to use conventional cast iron pipes
or conduits, which are found not to be providing sufficient protection,
simply because of non rigid and non flexible construction.

Vos Prodect articulated pipes are well engineered products
and mechanical tests of the systems have extensively been completed in
order to provide a responsive and guiding information to the market.

Additional study will be conducted in Japan, on the behaviour
of the unique application method of the systems. First trial will be realized
to protect a repaired cable that was severely damaged by an earthquake.
Due to split design of the systems, they can be easily assembled on the
as laid cables.

Vos Prodect articulated pipes have a build-in bend restriction
inside the strong joints, which provides flexibility during movements of
the earth. Despite the fact that the movements are unpredictable, this
study will broaden our minds to get better prepared to avoid future hazards.
We are looking forward to sharing the results of this investigation.
